Planning a resilient future for land, people and place
Confluence Lab
Confluence Lab is a spatial and environmental planning practice working to affect positive spatial change in cities and rural areas. We provide strategic cross-disciplinary planning solutions for the built environment and urban and rural landscapes.
We take a systems-approach to problem-solving across scales and disciplines. Every project, from a city- wide corridor to a small pocket public space, presents an opportunity for change: re(connecting) people to land, place and each other.
We are looking to collaborate with like-minded professionals, clients and thinkers. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

I am an environmental and urban planner focused on working with communities and organizations to balance multiple land uses while supporting community and Indigenous-led conservation.
While I’m passionate about analyzing the complexity of urban and rural natural systems, my real passion lies in using integrative techniques such as participatory mapping, the integration of traditional and Indigenous knowledge and science, and accommodating a multitude of uses on the landscape.
Reach out to collaborate.
